rats in that section find that they thrive
veil and produce large crops Of good fruit.
The far-fsIned foothills around Looms,
Penryn and Newcastle, go noted Tor
their deeiduous and citrus fruits, lie just
north Of this tract, and experts who
have examined both pronounce
The cARDwELL TRACT FAR SUPERIOR
OF the two in every respect. Hare
the man who buys 10, 20,40, 90,
SO, 100 or 100 acres gets il Compact,

one foot of waste land It's all feaced, all
cleared, all been plowed once, The soil
ready to receive at once the sowing for a
crop OF grain OF the planting OF an orchard
or vineyard. Here the small farmer IS
within short distance Of excellent public
schools, those of the town Of Folsom on
one side and the Roberts district upon the
other. In no case, however located, Will
the children have 10 walk more than two
miles, and the greater portion less than
one mile. If a few settlers with
families locate there e new district
will be formed within She place. Every
fenced division of this immense tract has
erected upon it buildings and barns sui,
fcient TO accommodate the men employed
in the fields
WILLS or WATER
Are also found all over the place, in depth
from 10 10 100 feet, in all Of which Is
found an abundant supply Of clear, pure
cold, soft water. So much for the descrip-
ton of the place, 1890 acres of which Is
now in wheat, and which is pronounced by
competent Judges 10 be one Of the finest
tracts in this section. 1t is for sale, as a
whole or in lots to suit. The prices placed
upon this land by'Mr. Cardwell are low IN
comparison to its worth, and the way land
is selling elsewhere As an inducement to
settlers, he offers liberal terms-say halt
cash, and the balance in from three to hive
years, with moderate rate of interest. Here,
sow, is the opportunity for man OF small
means to>seoure home at bargain. toI
q very small amount OF money he can buy
an improved farm, that is cleared, fenced,
ready for cultivation, within mile or two
of railroad communication and postofflce
where his children can have the benefit Of
the public schools; where he can go &c
market on elegant turnpikes, and cross
strong, durable wire suspension bridges

THE CAPITAL CITY OF THE STATE
With an abundance of water and
fuel; country which is unknown
to droughts, where floods never can
modest, where billiards are never known,
where snow never falls, where cyclones
hurricanes and earthquakes are only
known of by reading of their devasta-
tons in the East A climate the
finest in the world, and where The
orange and the vine, the apple
date and olive all grow side by
side in the same orchard. 4 country
free from epidemic diseases, where the sun
shines the year round flowers bloom
throughout the winter a land where there
are but three seasons of the year-spring
summer and autumn At this writing
the middle Of December-the grazing land
on this magnificent estate is green with
verdure and the wild flowers are IN bloom
caused by the early rains. As c place fer
colony none better could be selected, for
with all its advantages and its superior
soil, ii is, in comparison with the prices q
land elsewhere, offered al only half-priee
Here is room for upwards OF
ONE HUNDRED CoLoSIsEs
Allowing each colonist forty acres. Forty
| acres of fruit is all one farmer can take
care of: forty acres of bearing trees and
vines is fortune; forty acres OF bearing
orchard and vineyard can be produced in
three years.
So long as California fruit IS the best and
earliest in the market so long as honest
Gamers are engaged in preserving TIE
product of our orchards and gardens; go
| long as the fruit-growers Of the State re
| main in confederation to secure the loves;
possible freight rates to Eastern cities
there VIII never be any danger of over
production in our fruit sections Those
magnificent clusters of black, amber and
white grapes, that ravish the eyes of East
ern people, grow to perfection in this
county, and can be nowhere raised better
than on this land offered to the set
tier at prices within the range Of
all. No fruit pays better when
sccessfully cultivated than French
prunes and Bartlett pears. Nowhere in
the State do they thrive and produce bet
ter than in this section The California
pear, especially, has the inestimable merit
of keeping longer and better than any
Eastern-raised pear. This is due 10 the
ziryness of our climate The Eastern pear
natures in moist, humid weather, and Is
seft, perishable and unreliable for shipping.
But few portions of the earth are so emf
nently
ADAPTED TO FRUIT CULTURE
As Is California. The wide world is the
market open to our thrifty horticulturists.
There is no surer crop raised in Califor-
MIA than grapes, nor no crop the market
price of which is less variable Nor is
there q crop that is marketed and harvested
at less expense. This land is equal to the
best in the State for vineyards. Here the
vines grow without irrigation, yielding
from eight to twelve tons per acre, and the
past year the poorest varieties for wine
purposes brought from S18 to so per ton,
while table grapes brought from $40 to $50
per ton for shipping purposes. Agents
scour the country every year engaging
crops in advance. There is no surer road
to wealth than to purchase this land, and
put it in vineyards, for whether the grapes
are made into wine here or shipped they
will make
A PAYING CROP EVERY YEAR.
There is a ready market within easy
reach of these settlers, that will at all
times take at the best prevailing prices
all the pork and beet, eggs and poultry
hops and hay, fruits and vegetables, broom
corn and chicory, peanuts and potatoes
sugar beets and sorghum that, with proper
care and cultivation, he may produce in
immense quantities.
Stoek-raising and fruit-growing work
together harmoniously and proftably in
this section. Twenty acres of orchard
vineyard and garden is as much as an
average family can manage. At the same
time with few additional acres they may
raise a number of fine horses, hogs or cat
tie, besides selling enough butter, eggs and
poultry to more than .pay the grocery
bills The favoring conditions of our
climate here make poultry-raising twice
as profitable as in the East, where they
have prolonged and severe winters. In
dustrious persons have in recent years
commenced in this county,
